Windows

[Captain Marley]

I realize that there are currently quite a large number of windows already available for use in Blockland...except one vital one. If you have built with LEGO's before, you should be familiar with the 1x2x2 arch window. It is used in most castle builds (i.e. Hogwarts) as well as medieval houses. If it has been made already, please post a link. I have searched though, and so it would be cool to have it made.

Sounds like a neat idea.
It could be a JVS, with the window sliding upward like with the real lego bricks.

I am an avid lego collector, but I have never seen an arched window like that, nor do I see any practical use for it, since the top of it will have a physical box pretty much the same as a regular 1x2x2 brick.  If you want, just place a regular window with an arch in front/behind it to give it that effect.

So you could take up 3 studs instead of 1?
BRILLIANT!
Then we will have to make all the walls 3 studs thick! But who cares? Let's do it anyways!

But yeah, I'd like this.

"Let's have only 1-color wall houses because using 3 studs and allowing different colored walls is stupid!"

You could use 2 studs.
Plus the fact that this is mostly useful for castles and castles are generaly 1 color on the walls.

3 studs would allow for more detail, like trims that stand out, ect. And I've seen several BL houses that used arched windows, and yet still more that used 3 studs.

lol altered is still sherp.  That window model could be made for blockland sure, but it would look ugly and cannot be integrated into any wall, since it has a curve on top.  and using arches to overlap doesnt mean you need 3 studs, it just means you need more than one for parts of the wall.  Any wall that only uses one is usually a plain and boring wall anyway.

But you said it.

Just to clear things up, since I suspect some confusion...the window is 2 studs wide - which means it goes on top of a 1x4 brick with 1x1x2's on each side. then a 1x4 arch slides right over the window. There is nothing here that need 3 studs.

That just confused me even more, sorry.
